Engine fault: repair needed - the recirculation valve 

it is a very clear video; the clearest that I see. I am Italian and I worked for an Enterprise named "Scotti"

I am considering to buy a RCZ and your videos are awesome, i'm really happy to see that people like you are willing to help others RCZ drivers !

Hi Scotti, finally I could fix the annoying Engine Fault Repair needed issue on the 308 GTi, After scanning with the PPS it gave me a clue, “Oil circuit mismatch atmospheric valve” I let the thing “mature” until it gave a STOP low oil pressure warning, so I didn’t move it... starting with the simple to the complex, replaced the oil filter... Same warning, then replaced the Oil pressure sensor, and voilà failure and warning gone. When removing the bulb I noticed the connector was wet with oil, so it gave way... So far everything’s back to normal.

Tanks voor het werk 👍

I would normally say “what a coincidence we’ve met today”! But looking at the circumstances what are the odds? I think we are in the matrix lol :) anyway it was nice to talking to you! Good luck with your projects 👍🏻

Hello! Nice video! So what was the real problem if that valve was in good condition? I have the same problem as you had.

...good day sir

I´ve changed the recirculation valve of my Citroen C4 Lounge THP 1.6 PSA engine but the problem now is intermitent. Do you have any other hint?

I'm currently after next month most likely buy that 2011 2.0 Diesel version of this car in hopes to buy the best choice in terms of reliability in long term since it will be my first car.

Hello my friend !! How are you !? Please please I need your help with some tips ! Please ! So I've got a Peugeot rcz 2010 And for 5 months .... everyday on the screen comes up the message ( TOP UP COOLANT LEVEL ) I had leave this car in 2 mechanics but no one knows the problem exactly .... always the car warm up that message apear again ... But the way have you any tip about it ? Thank u so much

Hi Scotty! My RCZ 1.6 156hp have a big power loss (often) and then in a couple of hours/days it’s ok. Funny, huh?! A “normal” car service and twoo Peugeot “dealer” can’t find anything! No error, nothing!!! Please give me an ideea! Thank’s in advance!

Hi Scotti, is the recirculation valve same thing as the dump valve on the rcz? I have the error code P0033 - "turbine discharge solenoid valve dump valve control fault" - on my rcz.

do you know the size of the bolts for these?

Hi sir, is it possible to swap a 308cc 1.6 Peugeot turbocharged engine with 207Sw petrol engine?

Hi Scotti. Man I hope you get my question and find some time to reply. Really at my end here. So not going to go into the codes least to say that its Powerstrain on the turbo and Too lean at higher load bank 1. Cant get up a hill (no power) Clear the code and I get about two days turbo until eventually it goes back into limp mode. Changed top and bottom O2 sensor, It has no MAF sensor but have cleaned both the MAP sensor (With MAF Cleaner). The re-circulation value looks brand new. Turbo has no wear whats so ever. What else can it be? Fuel consumption is huge!! Get about 5 days top on a tank where I should get about 2 weeks. Im running out of sensors to look at. Anything I'm missing? Also get a generic code that stats "Fuel System Monitor bank 1". But not much help from the forums as to what this could mean.

Great video. With this engine light that appeared on your car, did you happen to get a P code with it? e.g P0012 P0016 etc? thanks

Hi scotty, i change new turbo solenoid but still problem, erro code p0299 ENGINE FAULT, REPAIR NEEDED can you tell me 2-3 reason or what part should I check

hi Scotti, where is the fuel filter located on a petrol RCZ?

My peogot have the same issue is i must check the recirculation valve That is turbo sound right? I'm using ron 95 in malaysia

Hi Scotti, ich habe den 156 und hatte mal das selbe Problem als ich ihn gekauft hatte. Ich hatte meinen allerdings gebraucht gekauft. Der Verkäufer hatte bei mir den Tank mit E10 aufgefüllt. Der Treibstoff ist zwar zugelassen, aber der RCZ geht sofort in in Notmodus da das Gemisch zu mager ist. Welchen Treibstoff nutzt du? Ist glaube ich auch ein Benziner den du hast oder? Eventuell mal richtig guten Treibstoff tanken und nochmal probieren. Hört sich nämlich an als würde deiner durchgehend im Notmodus laufen. Ach und noch was, hast du mal mit nem OBD ausgelesen?

Hi mate, loving your videos, well I purchased from my brother a Peugeot 207 GT THP 1.6 150cv but after 5 months I'm suffering ignition problems from cold start, the engine moves a lot and also like it want to stall itself, you can also smell like fuel. It loses power for a little time. But once the engine is warm, no more issues. So well after changing spark plugs and coils on a Peugeot official workshop I still have the same problem, so maybe there's something wrong. Do you have some idea on what's the problem? Just to note I have the RaceChip One installed since around 3 months and no problem until now... Thanks!

Hi,my sister has a 1,6 2010 petrol 5008 peugeot with turbo,randomly on idle the engine starts shaking and stops working,she replaced the spark plugs and coils but no fix,anyone any ideea?

Hi Scotti, this happens happens to me in mainly 5th and 6th gear when under low RPM and i accelerate and the code comes up, my car losers all power and i can barley make any speed, do by pass this, i usually, pull over, rev the car up and take off fast and this pulls it out off limp mode ( power loss mode ) as im usually in a rush to work and then hook im OBD reader and clear the error but i can never figure why my RCZ 200HP GT is doing this, my mechanics say its the turbos that need replacing by i know it doesnt as being a car enthusiast my turbo is doing fine and i know from my other two turbo vehicles i know what to look for, but im hoping this is the answer. I do know the code is a P100 or a P200 something about it saying its either contradicting what the notes a saying in codes. Great videos, big Fan from Australia

Hi Scotti, What error code will be show? I got the error codes P0299 and P2263. I am not sure that is the same issue.

great video ! what diagnostic scanner did you use to pick up the exact fault ?I just have the error code showing on a cheap one. Thanks !

Hello Scotti. So, I'm searching in France for an RCZ R from 2015 to buy but I'm not sure if the motor they possess (1.6 litres with 270 bhp) is reliable. Can you give me your opinion please and advice on problems to look for?. Thanks a lot 👍

Heyy how to open the hood?

SO WHAT WAS THE FINAL FIX

Hi Scotti this happens to my car today peagaut 407 I don't know what to do

hi, Scotti ​I got a err code P2279，Where do you suggest I check and how many of them might cause this problem? Thank you very much!

hello. i have problem with my 308 gt year 2008 and 128kw. car go in limp mode without any lights present or warning... last time he did this, we look with diagnostic and it show error with electric cooling turbo pump (p2603). i have change electric pump but till now have passed 3 weeks and limp mode again. we have check again with diagnostic but no error present... what do you think?

hi scotty please have a little problem here with my car when ever the recirculation valve switch is connected my car jerks and turns off but when ever i disconnect the switch the car runs perfectly well, i was told its a bad turbo but i really am no sure any suggestion ?

Hope it wasn't too expensive! :)

The diesels are bullet proof, unfortinitely the 1.6thp is a pain in the ass, as it has numerous problems that also keep repeating, carbon build up is the main issue.

somebody with P1030 problem??

check gofastbits valve, its amazing or use the vag group valve :)

just to add I got this fault, it was a split fuel line

Hey Scotty. I get a misfire every time I floor it in 3rd gear at 5,100rpms. Have you ever had misfire problems?
